He must have got this from my ex who hogged the remote and watched what he wanted. We never got to watch TV until we left him. I don't recall ever acting this way. Maybe I should have. My children were always taught to share. I don't like to hear his drama I have another tv in the other room it's just not that important to me. I just shut him out. I told him I had nothing to say to him as long as he acts so childish. What is the best solution? After all my son does pay for the cable TV. As far as my friends being insulted they are not paying any of my bills. I don't really want them coming over all the time. He needs to mind his own business. Would be nice if he knew how to talk to people on the phone.

As for my son staying with me he works but helps me very little. I would rather have my son stay with me then live alone by myself so it balances out. He has a goal he is saving money for. I don't think this is the issue. The main issue is comunication between me and my son. He wants to move out as soon as possible and thats fine with me. He has been on his own many times. This is not the case! I have made it very clear I want him out.

Maybe, if he's a working adult, you and he need to have your own separate phone lines. Maybe you should get a cell phone (if you don't have one), that way it isn't lying near him for him to answer and he won't have the opportunity to insult your friends [over the phone, anyway].
If he isn't working, I'd give him the boot, or else at least issue an ultimatum that he either clean up his act [and show respect to you and your friends] or find another place to live.

Well it sounds like you give in too easy. If you want him to stop hogging the remote then either start watching tv first or ask if you can watch something on that tv. While he may be paying for the cable, you are the one paying the rent/mortgage and have the ultimate decision over everything.
As for the phone manners, he could just be a jackass to his friends and maybe thats why he's home in front of the tv because no one wants to hang out with him? If he's 27 though and still living with mommy its probably time to have a little talk about moving ahead in life and determining where he's going.

Gee mom can I come home and live with you? I'll pay the local phone bill but no long distance. If I do that I should have the right to watch whatever I want and tell your friends to f ck off. I should be able to kick your son out within the week because the phone bill might be more than the cable bill. I'll even save enough money to buy a new car and you can pay the insurance on it. By the way my girlfriend is coming over tonight so I will need your bed to f ck her on. You can sleep on the couch or use my sleeping bag and sleep on the floor. I will expect breakfast in the morning and your son can do my dishes. I love you...

1st of all, he should be out of the house by now, but if he pays for the cable, LEAVE HIM ALONE. Next thing you know, you'll be complaining about him eating all the M and Ms from the trail mix. I think YOU should grow up. Watch the other TV for gods sake.

Sorry to say, this is all your fault. You will have to set bounderies. If he doesn't like the bounderies then he needs to leave. Or just get another TV and cable box that would solve the problem for now.

At the age of 27, he should have more of a life and be out on his own!! Stick a foot in his butt and get him moving!! I left home at 18 and NEVER retured. So get him packing!!

No offence meant but he is like my 33 yrs old brother was in his teens. Everybody started ignoring him but he never came to his senses. Thankfully he moved out at the right time.

I think your 27 year old son should be moving out...he's a little old to be home with the nest egg.
